My name is Alex Garber and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I provide unique and effective forms of holistic psychotherapy and psycho-spiritual counseling. I take a very compassionate yet straightforward approach in challenging the belief systems that are holding you back. I encourage my clients to develop a sense of curiosity when it comes to their patterns and how they’re feeling. To begin to release judgement and simply observe- to step out of our ego and into our truth. My clinical work relies heavily on the trust and connection between myself and those I work with. I believe in order to get the most out of therapy you need to feel safe and secure with the person you choose to begin the work with. My approach seeks to look beyond the symptoms (co-dependency, racing thoughts, inability to sleep, stress, sadness) to get to the root cause of what is causing your symptoms. My aim is to connect you with your mind and body and combine all unique parts of you into one identifiable whole. To support you in developing and trusting in your intuition and decisions, to stop living in extreme highs and lows, to laugh with friends, have a loving relationship (with self and others), to feel secure and trusting in that “I am okay” regardless of the outcome. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff729db138edc0f23ec8c1c/1617312495386-ZUWW62V5SMJKPXPZQX9U/Screen+Shot+2021-04-01+at+5.24.29+PM.png About - Why Therapy and How Does It Work? When life gets complicated and isn’t working like you dreamed it would, therapy can help. It’s hard to sort out exactly what the problem is on your own. What I offer is perspective. To gain clarity on the patterns that are holding you back. Therapy can offer an unbiased perspective that as much as they love us, friends and family can’t give. I am trained in a special mind + body therapy called Neuro Emotional Technique, which taps into our subconscious thought patterns and helps us to release old stress and trauma so that we can be the best version of ourselves. So that we can be okay. Beginning any journey (and especially a therapy journey) can be really nerve wracking. After all, we are creatures of habit. Any change, even good change is scary.

Are you big on healing naturally? Maybe you enjoy meditation, breath-work, yoga, reiki, tarot readings or energy healing. This could be the right choice for you! Many of my more spiritual clients have communicated that they are not seeking tools to “cope” but rather are seeking the support to “heal” on a deep level. Many are disinterested in typical western approaches but want to combine western and eastern. The goal of this is to take a look at a persons overall physical, mental, spiritual and emotional well-being before recommending or beginning any kind of treatment. My goal is not to just treat your symptoms but learn the cause of your symptoms and support you in being your own self healer. To support you in removing the “blocks” to your own healing and restore your natural vitality. This requires us to combine mind + body + spirit and leaves space for each to be explored fully. There is nothing that cannot be talked about! Oftentimes our symptoms (such as: racing heart, weight loss/gain, shaking, dizziness, frequent zoning out or inability to concentrate, headaches, low sex drive, irritability, irritable bowels, nausea, etc.,) are our bodies way of alerting us that something much deeper is happening! These symptoms can help inform us on where to begin. To begin healing your body as you listen to its needs and become more attuned. The more in alignment you become, the more you will notice your physical (and emotional!!) ailments begin to dissipate.
